toward the rear. Hold the unit in an up-
right position with the lower vacuum
tube on the ground to support it.
3. Place the shoulder strap over your
head and onto your left shoulder.
4. Adjust the strap to allow a free flow of
air from the blower. If the collection
bag is kinked, the unit will not operate
properly.

the collection bag on your shoulder without
kinks. The strap is not intended to support

HOW TO CONVERT UNIT FROM
VACUUM USE TO BLOWER USE
1. Stop unit and unplug the extension
cord.
2. Remove the vacuum tubes and
collection bag.
3. Install the inlet restrictor that was re-
moved when assembling for vacuum
use.
NOTE: If you are unable to locate the inlet
restrictor, the unit will still operate. This re-
strictor improves the blower function.
4. Close the inlet cover and make sure it
is latched closed.
5. Re-install the blower tubes. Refer to
the section ATTACHING THE BLOWER
TUBE AND NOZZLE for instructions on
how to attach these items.
SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD

er source must be:
D
Specifically marked as suitable for out-
door use. The cord must be marked with
the suffix “W-A” (in Canada “W”).
D
Heavy enough to carry full current from
the power source to the unit. Otherwise,
loss of power and overheating can occur
causing damage to unit. Refer to table for
minimum wire gauge recommendations.
The cord must be marked with the proper
wire gauge. (Appropriate extension cords
are available.) Do not use multiple cords.
